DS Sold 125 Million

iPod Touch Sold 45 Million

Result?

STFU

Wow. Just wow.

That's like saying that the iPod Touch is the best camera, because it outsells Canon in unit volume.

Just because the iPod touch (an MP3 player!) sells like crazy and happens to have a camera or play games doesn't mean it's a superior or even comparable gaming platform to the DS or PSP. I highly doubt you're actually cutting into their marketshare.

Sorry Jobs. If you even cared about what's happening in reality outside your ego-bubble, you'd get some real statistics to present.

how is your reception in your iCoffin Steve?

@physicssquirrel Think about it this way, when parents see cheaper options, they take it. Most of their market are kids that cant afford their own stuff. That way u don't just get to play games, they know where you are at all times through tracking.

@physicssquirrel i think he meant in regards to online gaming acquisition, and he might have been right. I haven't bothered to look up the numbers but in that context the idea seems plausible. And apple has been pushing for greater online software acquisition for a bit now in their products so that leads me to think that is what he meant.

@zawette How dare you?! Anyways, I sort of agree. Wii has Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Skyward Sword and Metroid Prime 3, apart from that everything is sort of meh. Also the stupid motion control sucks dick.

My point still stands though. Apple exclusives are nowhere near the quality as Nintendo exclusives, if we're comparing them as a whole and not based on a particular system.

@Luis11717 yes i said it ...... anyway i was nintendo gamer 10 years ago .... but my last nintendo console/handheld is the gamecube ..... wii have no good games , just some few exceptions and nintendo 3ds tooo ...

[Luis11717]

@zawette I still prefer Nintendo and Sony games. Also... did you just say Super Mario is for kids?

[zawette]

@Luis11717 the zelda game is just a remake .. super mario land 3d is a child guy .... mario kart is like all the mario kart games . kid icarus dosen't interrest me at all ...

NOW to the iphone games ...

chaos rings series .. final fantasy series ... infinity blade 1,2 , waarm gun , shadow guardian , sonic 4 ... and many many many other games

[Luis11717]

@zawette Disagreed. Apple doesn't have a single iPad/iPod Touch exclusive I've played better than Nintendo 3DS' exclusives.

I've seen a Halo and CoD ripoff, and that's it. Most are casual games, they don't beat TLoZ: Ocarina of Time 3DS, Super Mario Land 3D, Mario Kart, upcoming KID ICARUS!

@Luis11717 no sony>apple>nintendo

3ds SUCKS ALOT .. it has no good game

[Luis11717]

@zawette Still, if we're talking about gaming. Both Sony and Nintendo> Apple.
